$9000???? I know that was just a guess but come on.. if it was running 
MCE you'd need to flatten it anyways and put Myth on it.. if you were 
going to do that why not just build it from scratch and put in 7 tuners 
and TB of drive space.. *and* put it in a case that looks exactly how 
you want it to..

It's nice to see the industry coming up with alternatives to what the 
telecoms supply but who in their right minds would pay 9000 for 
something we could build for a a couple K (if not less)
